LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Clunie Wins.

The suit OF the city against T. j. Clunie
and Richard O'Neil for the recovery of the
block and Q, Twenty-frst and Twenty
second streets, was tried in the Superior
Court on Saturday, and resulted in a vic.
tory for the defendants. The findings of
Judge Armstrong are as follows
Flrst-The premises in controversy are a
part OF Mexican grant patented to John
A. Suffer more than five years before the
commencement of this suit.
Second - That defendants and their
grantees have been in the actual, open. no.
torious and exclusive occupation and pos
session of the premises described in plain
tins complaint for more than TWENTY-FIVE
years, claiming the same adversely to all
the world
Third-That on the second day of Janu-
airy, 1849, said Suffer conveyed to the fu-
ture inhabitants of the City of Sacramento
all streets and alleys and public squares in
Sacramento city. Said deed does not in
clude the square in controversy, to wit, the
block P and Q, Twenty-first and Twenty
second streets. That thereafter the City of
Sacramento, by its regularly constituted
authorities, adopted and published to the
world an official map of Sacramento, which
map has been for period of thirty-four
years and does now hang upon the wall in
the office of the legally constituted author
ties of said city. That the premises herein
described in the controversy, to wit, be-
tween 2 and Q, Twenty-first and Twenty.
second streets, is not laid down as public
square in the official map of said city, but
On the contrary is marked and laid out for
private ownership.
Fourth-That defendants herein have
perfect record title by mesne conveyance,
from said John a. Suffer to them.
Fifth-That in the year 1865 the prem
ises were sold for costs levied by the legally
constituted authorities of Sacramento City,
the plaintiff herein, to one D. E. Alexan-
der, which title was subsequently acquired
by purchase by the defendants herein
Sixth-That at various times during the
last twenty years the City of Sacramentos
the plaintiff herein, has ordered the streets
surrounding said block between P and Q.
Twenty first and Twenty second, to be
graded, and assessed the same to these de-
PENDANTS, who paid the street assessments
: and taxes therein levied by authority of
said city. That said plaintiff never has
had possession of said premises nor laid
any claim thereto until the bringing of this
suit nor has the public ever at any time ac-
cepted any public use of said block or
square, nor was any map showing the said
block to be known as a public square re-
corded or publicly known as published.

Yesterdays GAME.

A large number of Sacramentans went to
the Bay yesterday to witness the game be-
tween the Atlas and the Pioneers. 1t is
stated that fully II 900 people witnessed the
game.
One of the principal features of the game
was double play by Newbert and O'Day.
A fly ball was hit back of short stop. New
bert caught it after hard run and threw it
to second in time to double up Gagus.
Robinson made neat running catch and
excellent fielding was done by Nick Smith.
Lorrigan pitched very fine game, there
being but two actual hits and one base on
balls. Mullee was hit for thirteen bases,
including eight bases on balls. Sheridan
